To this date I see no local politicians from your area in favor of closing down the lake (please correct me if I'm wrong). Without local political support CCA would be reluctant to stick its nose in that debacle. The blame squarely falls on LA. WLF and the committee members who blindly approved the oyster harvest against scientific data that said otherwise. Don't use the shotgun approach and throw everyone under the bus but rather take an unbiased aim at the true culprits and hold them accountable. Diluting the issue with four or five other entities only confuses what really needs to be accomplished. I do hope for the long term good of Big Lake that CCA takes an active role in the fight to ban oyster dredging.

I place plenty of blame on WLF upper management along with local politics never denied that 1 time.
But what does CCA stand for ?
Yes they are to blame also because they basically stood by with hands in pocket and did not fight back !
You better believe if this issue was in Lake P they would of been head 1st last 5 years fighting !
I blame it 80% on CCA who failed the lake Charles , Cameron people for its lack of concern (if I'm wrong please correct me ).
We asked for help and we got a Save the Lake meeting which proved the lake was in bad shape oyster wise and that was end of it .
Not a pin drop
They had 1 failed bill to propose number of permits which was a joke from get go!
I sent emails , spoke with leaders etc and basically all I got was BS
It finally took to the almost endanger level for this new bill to happen !
